Conditions at Marinaretti in November
November: Storm Tracks Reawaken the South-Facing Shore
November is arguably the pick of the shoulder-to-peak transition. Average swell heights jump back to around 3ft (0.9m), average period rises to 5.6s, and 'ideal wind' reaches 24%. More importantly, the preferred S/SSW/SW window delivers around 10% of the month with waves over 3ft (1m) - the highest of the entire year. That is real surf for Marinaretti.
The month is wet and dynamic: 4.36mm/day of precipitation is the highest of the year, air temp falls to 15.3°C, and water temp is still okay at 18.7°C. As low pressures deepen across the Mediterranean, SE/SSE swell often appears before a cold front, while N/NNW Bora winds clean up the back side. The offshore wind group totals roughly 27% of observations. Long-period groundswell is still rare, but the punchy 5-6s windswell, combined with frequent offshore wind, makes November one of the most surfable months of the year.
